Can Universe be on SAP-R3(Function modules,tables)

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I know we can create Crystal reports from SAP-R3 and as well as BW. Likewise is there any way to create a Universe based on R/3 Function modules and tables? I am able to see only 'SAP Business Warehouse' as a 'Database driver' under 'SAP Database middleware'. Please let me know whether it is feasible or not?

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Hi Preetham,

I can strongly say that we can create Universe on SAP-R/3.Inorder to create Universe we need to have proper Integratio with the SAP-R/3.To add up on we can create Universe on Tables itself only

Hi,

The solution you mentioned is a solution we proposed in the past.

This solution is limited because specific tables such as clusters are not supported.

You have also to take into account SSO that is not directly supported.

This is a solution we do not recommend.

Hi Dider,

Thanks for your information. But, I wanted to know that we have to bring the data from R/3 to BW (warehousing) then create a universe on top of it or is there any plug-in or patch required to create a universe on or Business objects will be working on it to support it in the near feature or its not at all possible to create a universe on top of R3?

Thank you once again!!!
